Free education for migrant kids in Shanghai!

Finally, it seems like migrant parents might have an easier time here. Shanghai is aiming to be the first Chinese city to offer free education for all “school-age” children of working migrants, with both public and private elementary and middle schools receiving government money to improve facilities and teachers. Already 97.3 percent of the 400,000 children of migrant workers are enrolled in schools, China Daily reported Wednesday. The idea is that the remaining 2.7 percent, or 10,000 non-local kids, will be able to benefit from free education like the rest of the gang.
